1. A method of using externally applied topical heat therapy for treating metastatic cancer extending beneath the skin and/or skull of a patient comprising the steps of:
a) placing a concentrated gentle but efficacious exterior topically applied heated air generated by a heat source adjacent to, and spaced from said cancer extending beneath said skin of said patient, and avoiding all contact with said skin during treatment;
b) directing said gentle but efficacious exterior topically applied heated air from said heat source at said cancer on and/or extending beneath the skin and/or skull of said patient;
c) applying said gentle but efficacious exterior topically applied heated air directed from said heat source to a full area of said cancer extending beneath the skin and/or skull of said patient, without moving said heat source;
d) programming said heat source for producing and directing said gentle but efficacious exterior topically applied heated air to destroy said cancer extending beneath the skin and/or skull of said patient;
e) monitoring said heat source for insuring that said gentle but efficacious exterior topically applied heated air being delivered to said cancer extending beneath the skin and/or skull of a patient does not exceed a predetermined safe temperature threshold of said skin; and,
f) mounting a display on or adjacent said heat source showing said set programmed temperature and a current temperature at a skin surface located above said cancer being treated, said cancer located beneath the skin and/or skull of said patient.
